Belleville, Ménilmontant and Gambetta—Paris neighborhoods with a foodie, cosmopolitan vibe. Pastries and desserts from around the world are found among the 20th arrondissement’s sweetest spots.

Paris seen from Belleville doesn’t taste the same. In the 20th arrondissement, the vantage points offer stunning views of the city, while the districts of Belleville, Ménilmontant and Gambetta each cultivate their own distinct character. The Père-Lachaise Cemetery is, of course, the area’s most famous landmark, with avenues where numerous figures from history, the arts and music lie at rest.

Around it, the 20th arrondissement of Paris often favors the small streets over the big tourist avenues. The countryside to Paris, the nearby Mouzaïa houses, studios, street-art murals and the buzzing streets of Belleville form a territory worth taking your time to explore. Moreover, its cosmopolitan identity is also clearly reflected in the fare, and the cravings for sugar take on many different forms there.

French pastries, artisan bakeries, world desserts, coffee shops, and ice cream parlors let you move from one tradition to another in just a few blocks. New, tempting spots sit shoulder to shoulder with long-standing shops, far from the glitz of the most touristy districts.

For an afternoon treat in Belleville, a pastry shop near Gambetta, or a sweet break after Père-Lachaise, here’s a selection of sweet spots in the 20th arrondissement of Paris!
